And who says adults can't love these bookmarks as well! I do! Grateful for the donation of these charming and whimsical bookmarks to my collection.
Since 1987 The Lost Forest toy shops in Australia, delighted young and old across the globe with their enchanting range of lovable puggles and other soft toys and in-store experiences such as birthday parties. Filled with talking trees, whimsical sounds, enchanting smells, engaging Storytellers, and toy versions of over 100 different magical and mythical creatures including PUGGLES, the first Lost Forest store in Melbourne was planted by well-known Australian musician and toymaker, Anthony Barber. Thanks to his collaboration with friend and famed Australian musician Billy Thorpe, and the McDonnell family, an impressive total of 18 Lost Forest stores were “grown” in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Based on the curious legend of Barber’s adventurous Grandfather (retold in the best-selling book ‘The Lost Forests’) their fantastical stores soon became the stuff of legends. People would travel around the world just to come and visit them.
Sadly, the recession of the 90’s forced the owners to close the Lost Forest stores. Puggles and all other Lost Forest products remain available from their online store.
"The Lost Forest values Peace, Understanding, Gentleness, Generosity, Love, and Energy … just like every PUGGLE does!"
